Personal Injury Claims
Determining fault in a collision can involve multiple factors, and in California, several parties can share partial liability. A Personal Injury attorney plays a crucial role in helping victims establish legal responsibility after a traffic accident.
If it is found that another party contributed to the injuries, victims may be eligible to file a personal injury claim with the responsible party’s insurance. This can provide compensation to help cover damages such as hospital bills and lost income during recovery.
